The Somalia–Somaliland border (Somali: Xuduuda Soomaaliya iyo Soomaaliland; Arabic: الحدود بين الصومال وصوماليلاند) is the disputed border between Somalia and the self-declared sovereign state of Somaliland.[2][3][4] It is an international border that separates two countries, while the Somali government and most other countries refer to it as the "Administrative Boundary Line". The government of Somaliland regards itself as the successor of the independent State of Somaliland, united in 1960 with the Trust Territory of Somaliland.[5]
